EAGLES BLACK: Welcome

The video for Saturday’s game vs. Spartan Gray is available on HUDL as is the tape for next week’s opponent, the Bruins. We hope to get out the scouting report tomorrow.

Please review Building Block 5. It is about 100% effort and going to the whistle on every play. The attached video clip of Marshawn Lynch shows it. If you watch the HUDL film from Saturday’s game, you will see many of the Spartan’s Gray team gave full effort until the whistle blew. They were finishing off blocks, tackles, shedding tacklers and making second blocks. It makes a huge difference.

The game last Saturday was difficult to say the least. That team was big, strong and fast. They also played clean hard football. I think it is the best team (by far) that we have played in our three years together. It also demonstrated that we have several things to work on to improve. We want the boys to use it as a learning experience, focus on the things we need to work on and then forget about what happened. Let’s look ahead and see how much we can improve this week.

See everyone tomorrow.

Message from Coach Steve

Player numbers will be assigned to the players next week. If your son did not play for us last year or they wish to change their number, please e-mail me your requests for them.

You have received some incorrect communications from the Eagles regarding sock color. We will be wearing the black socks. I apologize for the confusion.

We have changed our practice calendar for Monday August 8. The practice will be 5:30 – 7:30. Penne please adjust the calendar and remove the movie night from the schedule.

For the kids, we ask all of them to remove all of their award stickers from last year or prior years. Each year stands on its own. However for the boys that played for us last year, we ask that the player return their copy of the “B” sticker from their helmet. We are going to do something special with those for Ben. More information on that soon.
